"A Scandalous Affair" - the secret love story of Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy Video

"A Scandalous Affair" recently made its New York City premiere in the city where Jeanette and Nelson had many a secret rendezvous. A 30-year love affair with tragic pregnancies, sexual betrayals, suicide attempts and blackmail with the music of Cole Porter, Victor Herbert and Verdi are the stuff of "A Scandalous Affair." Written by noted opera singer, Hallie Neill, inspired by the best-seller "Sweethearts" by Sharon Rich, this dramatic, real-life love story of screen legends Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy is laced with humor, juicy bits of gossip, great singing and surprising Hollywood history. Metropolitan Opera baritone Theodore Lambrinos is Nelson and Hallie Neill appears as Jeanette. Promo clip: April 19, 2009, Merkin Concert Hall, New York. Raymond Hughes, as pianist Collins Smith and Patricia Bartlett is Hedda Hopper. This performance was directed by Albert Bergeret. For more information: www.jeanetteandnelson.com
